How can I put some coloring in my homemade soap?
20 Dec 2008
Soap not Soup! LOL.
Ok, now i will answer that i am awake lol.
there are many ways to add color to soap (and other skin care products). this can include natural colorants (e.g. beet powder), FD&C dyes, and micas …just to name a few. these colorants come in a variety of forms (e.g. liquid, gel, powder, wax chips, etc.).
the colors [of the soap examples below] were achieved by blending (in various combinations) the three primary colors (in transparent and opaque oxide) along with black and white opaque oxide. the colorant used (by drops) is a concentrated gel (manufactured by tkb trading), which is triple the concentration of the regular colors.
(colors react differently to clear and opaque bases …you can't achieve a deep dark color with a white opaque base. but you can create an opaque dark color by adding dark opaque oxide coloring to a clear base …you can darken most colors by adding black oxide.)

Shea Butter Homemade Soap Quick Question?
18 Dec 2008
I'm making this recipe
2 cups glycerin soap base, melted in a double boiler
2 tbsp shea butter, melted separately
Several drops of your favorite essential oil (optional)
and I was wondering, do I need to get unrefined shea butter or can I use a shea butter lotion I have????
Thanks!
I would use the unrefined shea butter, the shea butter lotion has other ingredients that are not takin into consideration in the recipie. I relatively positive that it is asking for unrefined shea butter.
www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com – great prices on natual butters also carries soap molds, melt and pour bases, scents, and colorants.
